dynamic inventory - hostname or ip address

Archives Ansible Project

Hi all,

I got dynamic inventory for ec2 instances via ansible. But the host in export are all IP addresses.

In ec2.ini

vpc_destination_variable = private_ip_address

Sample of dynamic inventory output:

`
“tag_Name_abc01_example_com”: [
“10_1_1_15”
],

`

So when run playbook, I have limit with it IP address, such as 10_1_1_15

What can I do do to use its tag Name as host in inventory?

In ansible cache, the index is built and archive with private ip address.

“10_1_1_15”: [
“us-east-2”,
“i-6652342vs”
],

You can use in ec2.ini:
tag_destination_variable = Name
